NEWS & ANNOUNCEMENTS

WHAT: Title I/RTA Family Literacy Night – “Celebrating a Nation of Diverse Readers”

WHEN: Thursday, March 1, 2018 from 6:00-7:30

WHERE: LJES

WHY: It’s Read Across America Week, a week where we don’t just celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday, but also recognize and continue his mission of motivating children to read and become lifelong successful readers.

HOW: Students and their teachers have been reading and enjoying Geronimo Stilton books. Don’t know who Geronimo is?!? Come out and learn all about him as you visit classrooms and see student projects connected to cultures from around the world! You’ll also get a chance to vote on grade-level hallway displays. And who knows, you might even get to meet Geronimo himself!

Important immunization changes are outlined in 902 KAR 2:060 for 2018-2019 school year. Please note the following changes in order for your child to attend school:

Effective July 1, 2018: ALL students in kindergarten through twelfth grade must show proof of having received two doses of Hepatitis A vaccine to attend school. These 2 shots must be given 6 months apart. Please DON’T DELAY in getting these started. Students will need to have the first dose before January and the second dose by July 1st. This is a NEW school requirement. Therefore, if your child has already been vaccinated, the school will need the certifications showing proof in order to enroll your child for the 2018-2019 school year.

Students aged 16 years or older must show proof of having received two doses of Meningococcal vaccine to attend school. If the first dose of meningitis vaccine was received at age sixteen (16) years or older, the second dose is not required for school entry.

As you know, we continue to work on our five success skills daily and we appreciate your support from home! Here are a couple of videos that might help you get some new conversations going with your child.

Please note the important changes made to this year's school calendar:
-We have school on Feb. 2 to make up for the Aug. 21 eclipse day.
-We are out of school on Feb. 19 (President's Day) and Feb, 20 (Special Election Day).
-We have school on March 2 for our Jan. 8 snow day.
-Feb. 20 will be made up on May 29.
-Any additional weather days will be tacked on after that.

As snow accumulated, students picked up cameras and captured its scenic beauty in the third annual Snowmageddon Photo Contest sponsored by the Shepherdsville/Nichols Elementary School Family Resource Centers
